Required fresh water supply

*Assumes 80% pad efficiency and 425 fpm (2.2 m/s) air velocity through pad. For air velocities less than 425 fpm,

the water requirement should be reduced by the ratio of the actual pad air velocity to 425 fpm. For example: given

outside air conditions of 100° F, 40% RH, two 5’ x 60’ pads/house, and ten 48" fans producing 22,000 cfm @

.10" w.c., the total air flow is 10 x 22,000 =220,000. The pad area is 2 x 5 x 60 = 600 sq. ft. The air velocity through

the pads is the airflow divided by the pad area; 220,000 ÷ 600 =367 fpm. From the chart 1.5 gpm is required per

100 sq. ft. of pad. Because the air velocity is less than 425 fpm the actual water requirement is 1.5 x 367 ÷ 425 =

1.3 gpm per 100 sq. ft. of pad. The total water required for the house is 1.3 x 600 ÷ 100 =7.8 gpm.

Water Quality: 6 - 8 PH, salt concentration less than 40,000 ppm

Trough and Sump Water Capacity:

Trough Water Capacity- is 2.25 Gal/FT. [27.9 l/m]

Sump Water Capacity- 10.5 Gallons [39.7 Liters] when full to the top of the Water Level Indicator.

Important! CTB, Inc. strongly recommends that a good alarm system should be installed

in confinement buildings to warn of power failure and high temperature.

CTB Inc. also recommends that an alternate power source be available for

confinement buildings in case of power failure.

CTB, Inc. recommends the use of a Water Level Safety Switch. The absence of

a Water Level Safety switch will void any Warranty on the Water Pump.

System Layout

The Sump Assembly can be installed anywhere within a system following these guidelines....

•The maximum length of the system is determined by the Pump used (See “Submersible Pump

Options” on page 5). Maximum system length includes the length of system on both sides of the

Sump in "Sump in the middle" and "around the corner" systems.

•A system can turn 90° around a corner with the use of a 50464 Corner Kit. Install the Sump on the wall

with the longest Pad Length.

•The maximum amount of slope is 1-1/2"[38 mm] per system. The Sump end must be level with, or

lower than the rest of the trough

Figure 2. on page 9 shows two options for installing the cooling pad relative to the

tunnel curtain and provides information for the Evaporative Cooling System opening

with Sump on either end. See

Figure 3. on page 10 for opening information for

Evaporative Cooling System with Sump in the middle

It is recommended to frame the Pad opening using treated lumber.

1.Determine the location of the bottom stringer. See Figure 2, Item 3.

Use Wood or Lag Screws to secure the Bottom Stringer to the Studs.

The Lower Stringer must be capable of supporting 30 lbs/ft [45 kg/m] plus

3 lbs/ft [4 kg/m] for each foot of Cooling Pad Height.

Example: A 6' Cooling Pad requires a Stringer capable of supporting 30 lbs/

ft + (3 lbs/ft x 6') = 48 lbs/ft.

2.Determine the location of the top stringer. See Figure 2, Item 8. The distance

between the top and bottom stringers should be 2'' [51 mm] less than the height

of the Evaporative Cooling Pads.

Example: For a 60'' [1524 mm] tall Evaporative Cooling Pad the distance

between the stringers would be 60'' [1524 mm] - 2'' [51 mm] = 

58'' [1473 mm].

Note: The slope (if any) of the top stringer must be the same as the bottom

stringer.

3.Snap a Chalk-Line on the lower stringer at the locations specified in Figure 2,

Item 13. This Chalk-Line will determine the location of the lag screws for the

Trough Supports.

4.Snap a Chalk-Line on the top stringer at the locations specified

in Figure 2, Item 12 &15. This Chalk-Line will determine the location of the

Splash Plate lower holes.

5.A short section of 2 x 6 treated lumber (Figure 2, Item 20) is required beneath

the Bottom Stringer at the Sump end to provide a back support for the Sump

assembly.

Sump Preparation

If the Sump is to be installed to the right of the Trough, the left side of the Sump will

need to be cut at the indicated cut line. If the Sump is to be installed to the left of the

Trough, the right side of the Sump will need to be cut at the indicated cut line. To

install the Sump in the middle of the system, cut both 1/2" Sump End Caps off the

Sump

(See Figure 5.). Decide which side of the Sump will be used for the drain and

cut off that end. Make cut for one drain only. Install the 1-1/2" Rubber Pipe Cap.

Decide which side of the Sump to install the Overflow Fitting. Install a 1/2" PVC

Overflow Fitting in the hole.



1/2" PVC pipe can be attached to this fitting to channel overflow water to a drain.

Install a Drain Plug in the other Drain Plug hole.

Orient the Trough so that the Pattern of holes on top are offset to the left of the holes

across the bottom (See

Figure 9, Item 6).

Hang the Trough from the Bottom Stringer beginning with one end of the Trough

Material against the Sump and the top holes in the Trough Material aligned with the

Chalk-Line. The top holes in the Trough Material and the Chalk-Line mark the

location for the Trough Supports. Use the 1/4 x 1-1/2" Lag Screws to attach the

Trough Supports and Trough Material to the Bottom Stringer as shown in

Figure 9.

Trough Installation Continued....

Form the Trough into a "U" shape as shown in Figure 10 and fasten the Trough to

the Trough Support using the 1/4" Drive Rivets. Insert the 1/4" Drive Rivet through

the hole in the Trough and the Trough Support. Use a hammer to hit the 1/4" Drive

Rivet head to lock it in place. Repeat the process for each Trough Support.

Wipe the inside of the Trough at each end to remove debris that may prevent sealing.



Attaching the Trough to the Sump

At the Sump end hook the free end of the Clamp Strap to the Sump End Insert and

tighten the 1/4" clamp bolt to seal the joint between the Trough and the Sump.

End Panel Installation

First install the end panels at the Sump end. Install the End panels opposite the Sump

end after installing the Deflectors (next step); this makes the system assemble easier

due to small variations in system length.

1.Apply a bead of silicone caulk to the end 2 x 4 as shown in Figure 12.

2.Install the Upper End Panel flush with the inside edge of the end 2 x 4 with the

top hole aligned with the Chalk Line on the Top Stringer. Use a 1/4 x 1-1/2"

Screw through the top hole in the Upper End Panel to secure the End Panel in

position.

3.Overlap the lower End Panel on the outside of the Upper End Panel to provide

proper watershed. Align the holes in the Upper and Lower End Panels keeping

the Panels flush with the inside edge of the end 2 x 4. Us 1/4 x 1-1/2" Screws to

attach the End Panels to the end 2 x 4’s.

Distribution Pipe Installation

1.Set this Distribution Pipe on the Pipe Hangers above the Sump end of the

Trough.

Note: The belled end must be away from the Sump end. See Figure 14.

2.Assemble the remaining Distribution Pipes by inserting the straight end of one

pipe into the belled end of another. Align a hole in the belled end with the hole

in the straight end and join the pipes using a 1/4 x 1/2" Screw through these

holes. It is not necessary to glue the distribution pipes together.

3.At the Sump End of the system the Distribution Pipe should 

extend 8"[20.32 cm] beyond the edge of the End Panel. (See Figure 14, Item 8)

The Pipe should extend at least 6" past the opposite End Panel.

4.Install a 1/4 x 1/2'' Screw in each spray hole that falls outside the End Panels at

either end.

5.Install Distribution Pipe Gasket inside the End Panels at both ends of the system

as shown below in

Figure 14.

End Panel Support Installation

Install the End Panel Support at both ends using 1/4 x 1-1/2 Lag Screws, as shown in

Figure 15. The End Panel Supports hold the End Panels against the Pads and keep

them perpendicular to the Top Stringer.

Pad Support Installation

Set the Pad Supports on the Trough Supports, as shown in Figure 16. The front edge

of the Trough should be captured inside the cavity on the front of the Pad Support.

Butt the Pad Supports end to end, beginning at the Sump End Panels. The length of

the last Pad Support can be trimmed if it is too long to fit in the remaining space.

Attach the Pad Support at either end to the flange in the Lower End Panel with a #10

x 1/2" SS Screw. (See

Figure 16. below)

Note: Sump components and End Panels not shown for clarity.
